    Hi can I join in too please- can I start on Monday 24th (I will sit and count the days on my calendar later and post my finishing day ;-D)
    I don't want to use my credit card and I want to start on my WWatchers diet and need to have an incentive to do it :-( apart from being overweight lol-hopefully knowing I have to post on here will keep me on the straight and narrow! We are out at a friends for dinner on Saturday so thought it best to start on Monday.
    Thanks :)
    Think my end day is 4th May-hopefully will be a lot thinner and not so skint by then!

  • I'm trying to stay away from the washing powder offers too as I have 3 large boxes and bottles still to use up alongside 2 smaller sized ones. In fact I might monitor how long all this lasts for and then restock when I'm onto the last 1

    I wrote the date on the last box I opened, so I'm interested to see how long it lasts...I don't really buy the liquid because I find it hard to dose and always put far too much in!

    Ooh! I used up a deoderant today and avoided stockpiling more half price ones in Mr S today and.... used up an exfoiliator I've had for I don't know how long! Glad to see the back of that one!

    Next thing to use up is a Molton Brown Body Scrub I've had for 15mths!

    How's everyone else going on?

    Still nothing bought here, re-did my toiletry list and even though I've used loads in the last year, there is still a ton of un-used stuff. Think the only thing I need to buy soon will be toothpaste.
